A content creator was left in disbelief after encountering a "one in a million" pack.

'Paolo Panini', who is a huge hit on TikTok, YouTube and Twitch, turned his love for retro football stickers into a full-time job and earned six figures doing it.

The man behind the nostalgic channel is 32-year-old Ollie Jenks from Devon and he regularly goes live and opening packs of stickers.

A Rookie David Beckham card worth £7,000 and a Lionel Messi card which was sold for £3,000 are some of his rare finds.

But in a recent video, Jenks experienced his "greatest ever pack" and was left stunned by what was inside.

It started off with a Blackburn Rovers squad picture, before moving to Florent Malouda and Tomas Rosicky and then to Blackburn's kits.

Yet the final two stickers which came could not have been more ironic.


Jenks packed both former Chelsea and England player Wayne Bridge and John Terry back-to-back.

The two played together for club and country but their relationship was broken

after it was alleged that Terry had slept with Bridge's ex-girlfriend of four years, Vanessa Perroncel - who he has a son to - just weeks after they had split.

The story came out in the press and Bridge infamously refused to shake Terry's hand when they lined up against another at Stamford Bridge in 2010.

Jenks was in utter shock at the contents of the pack, which had been completely unopened for nearly two decades.

He said: "No way, Wayne Bridge and John Terry next to each other! No way! You are taking the p***! I can't believe it! What is happening?! John Terry and Wayne Bridge right next to each other. This is quality!

"This is insane! I don't believe it. This is absolutely batsh** crazy!

"This been sealed for 17 years. I've opened a few thousand of these packs and that has never happened."

A former McDonald's employee, Jenks is flanked by a small group of dedicated card collectors and enthusiasts based in Torquay and may now have world's leading retro pack opening company.
